Event subprocess with error start event

[alemser]

Hi,

Please, see attachment and XML below…

When the Review task ends with error, the respective error start event of the event subprocess is not activated.

This message appears in the log:
18/07/2012 14:26:56 org.activiti.engine.impl.bpmn.helper.ErrorPropagation propagateError
INFO: errorEnd throws error event with errorCode '123', but no catching boundary event was defined. Execution will simply be ended (none end event semantics).

Did I miss something?

Your sub-process doesn't contain a end-event, it just stops with the "userTask". I assume this is the issue, as the rest is perfectly fine…

Try debugging first before posting immediately on the form please.

[alemser]

In this case, please, review the XML you sent me: https://svn.codehaus.org/activiti/activiti/trunk/modules/activiti-engine/src/test/resources/org/acti...

I modified the XML as suggested but still not work. (I debug as I did in the last post)

Thank you.

[frederikherema1]

Your test with the suggested modifications, runs green:


@Test
  public void testEventSubprocessoErrorStart() {
      org.activiti.engine.repository.Deployment deployment =
          repositoryService.createDeployment()
                      .addClasspathResource("org/activiti/examples/bpmn/subprocess/EventSubprocess.bpmn20.xml")
                      .deploy();
       
       
        ProcessInstance pi = runtimeService.startProcessInstanceByKey("EventSubprocessErrorStartTest");
       
        //should return only one task called 'Review'
        List<Task> tasks = taskService.createTaskQuery()
                                      .processInstanceId(pi.getId()).list();
        assertEquals(1, tasks.size());
        Task reviewTask = tasks.get(0);
        assertEquals("Review", reviewTask.getName());
        //
       
        //creating the variable to evaluate the expression that will lead to an error end event
        Map<String, Object> vars = new HashMap<String, Object>();
        vars.put("condition", "R");
       
        //complete the 'Review' task with the variables
        taskService.complete(reviewTask.getId(), vars);
       
        //should return only one task (event subprocess 'Report' task) bot no one will be returned
        tasks = taskService.createTaskQuery().list();
       
        assertEquals(1, tasks.size());
       
        // Clean up
        repositoryService.deleteDeployment(deployment.getId(), true);
  }

[alemser]

yes really works now. great!
Sorry, last debugging did not caught the changes I made in the XML

Thank you, case closed.
